Rádio RSI

Rádio RSI is deep in Slovakia's listing, at 33 of 42. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

A German station transmitting from Slovakia is a rarity in this data: one of the country's entries carry that language, against a listing whose commonest is Slovak. Combinations like this are the reason the site indexes language separately from country.

The German shelf on this site collects every station in the language regardless of where it transmits from, and the directory's German entries are concentrated in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Reading the shelf next to this page is the quickest way to see how far the language's dial actually reaches.

Rádio RSI shares its leading tag, culture, with two other Slovakia entries. Across every country the directory has 86 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

The stream address on this entry points at icecast.stv.livebox.sk, which is where 7 other stations in Slovakia are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
